What Is Platysmaplasty Surgery?

Platysmaplasty is a rejuvenation procedure performed to increase the definition of the neck from the angle of the jaw to the chin, thereby restoring a youthful and aesthetic contour to the face. It is generally indicated in persons between 40 to 60 years of age and for those who want jaw-neck definition.

How long does it take to recover from Platysmaplasty?

It can take several weeks to months for swelling to fully subside and you see the full results of your neck lift. Most people need about one week at home to rest and recover from neck lift surgery. Make sure you have someone who can help you during this time. Follow your doctor's specific instructions.

What does a Platysmaplasty do?

A neck lift, or Platysmaplasty, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed from around the neck, and the remaining skin is repositioned and tightened. The desired effect of this surgery is to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, and give the neck a more youthful appearance with a sharper angle beneath the chin.
